Lafree giant User Manual

THE POWER BEHIND THE BIKE
Lafree Europe began life in June 1999 as an independent division of Giant Europe. In terms of
experience, we couldn't have a bigger name behind us. Giant is presently the world's largest
manufacturer of quality bicycles. The company enjoys an international reputation for constant
innovation and has pioneered many of the most advanced developments in bicycle design and
manufacturing technology. For further Lafree information, see page 2.
Now, with the introduction of the Lafree electric bike, Giant has given traditional pedal power an added
boost, bringing an entirely new cycling experience. The Lafree power-assisted bicycle is a convenient,
healthy and environmentally friendly form of personal transportation that combines both functionality
and fun. The Lafree is the perfect solution to today's ever increasing traffic and parking problems.
